I currently use the Garmin Vivoactive 3 smart watch and love the golf feature set. I have used the garmin golf app on my phone a couple of times before i got my garmin watch and my range finder. I do not have any really complaints mostly because it is a free app. Let me know if you have any questions about the garmin smart watch. I really enjoy using it!

Thanks, RoberX.  I just got the S20 and I haven't had a chance to golf with it yet, but I haven't been that impressed so far.  I love how it's set up because it's simple and easy to read which will save time golfing.  The problem I'm having is that I don't always get notifications on my watch from my phone.  Not a huge deal when golfing, but I figure if that's a feature of the watch, it should work.

I agree. What type of phone are you pairing it with? I have a samsung S10, i have paired with my garmin watch. I would also reach out to tech support at garmin to see if they can help with the integration between the watch and your phone.

I think the Garmin watches work great for gps rangefinders.  However, don't waste your time tracking stats like the distances by club, etc.  The web/mobile app is terrible.

My VA3 works great as an easy and convenient GPS.  I like seeing the steps and mileage, too.  Its nice sometimes when I hit a good drive and the distance since my last hit shows up on the watch.  But it doesn't record each shot consistently enough to be useful for any sort of average or aggregate analysis.

      Day 314 - Putting some things together. Better grip/setup, fuller backswing, better finishing position. Filmed some swings, happy with the progress.

      Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20.

      Best Shot of the Week

      Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!

      Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
